Tracy Morgan to stay in hospital 'several weeks'

It's going to be a long recovery for Tracy Morgan. The
SNL
and
30 Rock
comedian was injured in a
six-car New Jersey pile-up
, which killed his friend and mentor Jack McNair.

A spokesperson for Tracy told
Us
that, "While Tracy remains in critical condition, he has been more responsive today, which is an incredibly encouraging sign. He sustained a number of injuries including a broken leg, a broken femur, a broken nose and several broken ribs. He had surgery earlier today on his leg. We expect him to remain in the hospital for several weeks. His family is tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans."

Along with Tracy, two others, Ardie Fuqua Jr. and Jeffrey Millea, are in critical condition. The driver of the Walmart truck that allegedly rammed into the limo-bus in which Tracy and a group of people were travelling from a comedy gig, has been charged with death by auto and assault by auto.
